In a fair and open market there should be transparency and a level playing field for all investors; be they retail or institutional. The # of shares shorted should be available IN REAL TIME throughout the trading day. Dark pool trading must be eliminated. We can clearly see that large institutions are buying massive quantities of AMC stock (for example) on the dark pool and then flooding the
Please update the rules to more accurately report short interest and punish violators of misrepresented position. Clearly this should NOT be done through self-reporting (or at least without regular audits), as the institution have too much to gain by not reporting their positions. If an institution trader is allowed to directly attack a company and negatively effect the price through shorting,
I fully support this effort to improve short interest enhancements. When bad actors are allowed to create a synthetic share out of thin air through dishonesty and illegal activity, they pose the potential to put the entire financial system at risk. If "market makers" are allowed to break rules, including the creation of millions of fake shares, they are given the power to destroy
Short interest needs to be reported everyday, just like volume and institutional holdings this is vital information to prevent over shorting a stock or non compliant behavior that limits price discovery and normal market dynamics.
I understand the risks involved with these types of investments.

Comments: Hello Finra, Readx3. I enjoy using inverse ETFs. They are not complex. It accomplishes a similar result to shorting a stock but with out having to get a margins account. I personally don't trust myself to trade on margin. Many others don't either.

I am losing faith in the Regulations governing the Securities Market! As a retail investor I believe that the provably widespread practice of naked shorting dilutes the share pool of companies that I believe in which artificially lowers stock prices. It is a method that predatory short hedge funds use to drive stock prices down, rather than allowing the market to engage in true price discovery.
Naked shorting and dark pools have allowed manipulation of the stock price. They are able to bring the true stock price dow in order to save themselves which is unfair to the American people!! We work just as hard study the market hard if not harder and we do not have access to manipulate anything it's win or lose for the people. This is so unfair I personally have lost thousands of dollars

The federal government MUST consistently monitor the inherent market manipulation executed by certain hedge funds who have short positions in various stocks - mainly AMC and GME. The immense amount of naked short selling, buy orders being re-routed to the dark pool to prevent the stock from moving upward, as well as countless other violations need to be addressed as soon as possible. AMC and GME
